FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions on REACH-IT.

Late Pre-registration

The pre-registration period is now over and the pre-registration functionality in REACH-IT has been disabled.
If your company starts manufacturing or importing over 1 tonne or more of a phase-in substance per year, after 1 December 2008, you can benefit from late pre-registration provisions, provided that certain conditions are fulfilled.
This page provides practical advice on how you can late pre-register substances.

PPORD

You may be exempted from the obligation to register the quantity of your substance which is subject to product and process oriented research and development (PPORD). In this case you need to submit a PPORD notification to ECHA.
This page provides practical advice on how you can submit a PPORD notification.

Inquiry

Inquiry is the process by which every potential registrant of a non phase-in substance (or a phase-in substance which has not been pre-registered) must inquire to ECHA whether a registration has already been submitted for the same substance.
This page provides practical advice on how you can submit an inquiry dossier.

Registration

Registration is the process by which any manufacturer or importer (or producer of articles), of a substance within the scope of REACH must submit certain prescribed information to ECHA.

Request a registration number for a notified substance under Directive 67/548/EEC

All notified substances under NONS are considered already as being registered under the REACH regulation. According to article 24 of the REACH regulation, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) assigned registration numbers to all notifications made in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC. To claim your registration numbers, you first have to sign up in REACH-IT to allow the identification of your company.
